Classic tapers Thomas Favorite - Ragnarig


Friends

A couple of you have expressed an interest in the 7'6" Thomas "Favorite" I
mentioned last week, so here it is.

Once again, these numbers include varnish, so deduct appx. 6/1,000ths total (3
each side) and you should be as close as makes no odds.  

1    .067
5    .093
10   .119

20   .146
25   .165

>79  .316
80   .344
>81 1/2   .410

You'll notice I've added a couple stations at the butt to try and give as
accurate an impression of the butt swell as possible.  The final one is just
fwd. of the winding check.

This rod has an all-cork handle with a down-locking slip ring.  The total
length is 8 1/2" with a symmetrical cigar-shaped grip swelling to 1.125" in
the middle.  The cork at the reel seat has a dia. of .675 for the last 3".

I also mic'ed a Scottish Farlow rod of 7' length, which I'll send out ASAP

Enjoy,
Davy
